PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Relatives drink it by the barrel

full. We lost a lot of time with them

and the problems went no where.

We just kept throwing out the

empties. The last drop was the little

freedom they ever knew. Escapism

was lifestyle, not time out.

I like a little whisky in tea or coffee, 

straight, with a spritz of soda as if

there is a need to warm the mind for

an hour, more or less. Escapism comes

in writing sci-fi novels, the occasional

verse on line, dreaming of books

in print with a fluted glass on the side.

.

Wine slows down the busy pace of highly

strung poets who want to change the

universe, but do not own sufficient math

to reach the nearest star or the nearer

moon.
